Many examples of alliteration used by the translators show in the scene where Grendel kills and eats one of the sleeping men as Beowulf waits to attack. Heaney’s version of this moment reads: Mighty and canny, Hygelac’s kinsman was keenly watching for the first move the monster would make. Nor did the creature keep him waiting but struck suddenly and started in; he…
